Do you like My Hero Academia?
I actually haven’t watched it! I know the bare minimum from watching a few clips and fanart here and there, but it just never really caught my interest. With a few exceptions, “special school” narratives don’t usually appeal to me. I do enjoy superhero fiction though. Seems like a cool show/manga, just not for me right now!
90% of my writing experience is doing this
oh yeah? well [puffs out my feathers to make myself look huge and scary]

First of all, the playlist? Stunning and no notes. Lots of theater-type songs and that suits Lucy so much better than expected. The art is fantastic, you’ve made blue and gold go together really well and that can be tricky to do! Great job friend!

HEADCANONS/PROMPTS:
HC: Eldritch Creatures Sinistres (is this already canon? Maybe a little bit). Her skin is just a little too pale, her mouth doesn’t move exactly right with her words, you could’ve sworn she wasn’t there a second ago, and hey… when was the last time she blinked?
Prompt: A lot of the Sinistres with powers are adopted. They just find them out there and YOINK (a la The Umbrella Academy however I only watched season 1 take this with a grain of salt)
Prompt: Something something both the Contessa and Lucy chose to sacrifice themselves in an incredibly destructive fiery end to save a lot of people
Prompt: Lucy survives Zero Hour without anyone knowing (including her) and kind of just wanders into the local town, amnesiac, confused af. A solid while later Shelby finds her Clark Kent-ing it out in the world on her Illegal Globetrotting Fun
HC: Lucy definitely had some voice training. What I’m hearing is that she can sing opera (👀 Opera Singer AU anyone????)
HC: She cannot pose for photos At All. Dorky ass peace sign.
AU where everyone graduates H.I.VE. as normal and when everyone’s out on the streets of Italy, Lucy gets recognized because she’s actually kind of royalty (also she has a Wikipedia page)
HC: Lucy is usually seen as pretty mature and kind of shy, but every once in a while she’ll make a 69 joke or some other kind of innuendo that Shelby high fives her for
HC: Lucy gets some snake bite piercings right after she gets her wisdom teeth out at the H.I.V.E. Doctor with a clean(?) safety pin. Miraculously, they do not get infected.
Only child Lucy got real good at braiding her own hair. The five of them hang out and talk shit and braid each other’s hair. (Otto gets that fun little two year old spiky ponytail)
crack prompt: Lucy and Anna somehow meet.
Lucy: Stop killing people!
Anna: You’re not my mom!
Lucy: *gasp* I WOULD’VE NEVER SPOKEN TO MY MOTHER LIKE THAT
alrighty that’s all I got. THANK YOU MITCH @dr-nero-is-god FOR MAKING THIS EVENT

Art:
I got a rabbit as my animal, which honestly fits- lots of cool symbolism there. Something, something, snares and escaping and prey animal vs predators, etc. I honestly think this man is motivated more by fear than he lets on. Fic: A Temporary Alliance (A negotiation leads to an effective, if begrudging partnership between Cypher, three girls… and a pilot in deep over his head.) Headcanons:
Extremely paranoid ever since he began working in the villain industry, and this only became exacerbated after Xiu Mei’s death. Also misanthropic and believed most people are more bad than good, though he recognized a few exceptions like his family.
Instead of a plain oval of glass, his mask was a modified helmet resembling a motorcyclist’s. Alongside gloves, it allowed him to cover every inch of skin to prevent anyone getting hair or fingerprints for DNA testing.
Had long hair ever since he entered G.L.O.V.E., as he became paranoid that someone would assassinate him while cutting it. As Wu Zhang, he cut it himself and kept it up in a high ponytail (when down, it was a little past his shoulders). After losing Xiu Mei, he didn’t keep up with caring for it as often and let it grow a few inches longer, tucking it into his helmet as Cypher and tying it up otherwise.
Wore his mask anytime he was around others during his Cypher era, including his own henchmen. If he ever needed to sleep– such as on long flights– he would sleep with it on and hold a gun the whole time.
Based his Cypher look on some of the Power Rangers-esque shows Wing would watch as a child; he would watch them with him sometimes as a form of easy bonding time.
Adored Darkdoom’s exploits and would tell Wing bedtime stories about him; took inspiration for the Kraken from Darkdoom’s vehicles.
Despised Xiu Mei at first after the Overlord incident, but acknowledged they were stuck together. Their escape from China was full of violence, running from enemies, assassination attempts, and the usual actiony antics. This is when they first learned to appreciate each other as they both saved each other a few times.
As a husband, Mao was less physically affectionate. He showed love through gift giving, usually by making Xiu Mei small robots or trinkets or buying her nice things. He was very aloof as a person in general, so she valued being one of the few people he would willingly be close to. They enjoyed having movie or tv nights at home more than any other kind of date, which they’d usually end with a cuddle on the couch.
As a father, he was distant, but hardworking and comparatively loving. He knew from his teen years that he wasn’t cut out for family life, but did his best once avoiding it was no longer an option. He preferred to do the “maintenance work” of the family (house work, handling paperwork, planning stuff, etc) behind the scenes while his wife handled the face-to-face parenting. After Xiu Mei’s death, he was emotionally negligent and occasionally verbally abusive whenever he and Wing would argue, but never lashed out physically. He feared how angry he could be as he grieved and would separate himself early to avoid outbursts, but the absences only made things worse.
After Xiu Mei’s death and a small depressive period, vengeance became his primary goal and he began training himself in combat. This is where some of his absences in Wing’s life came from and where Wing’s early fitness started, as he tried a few times to work out with his father to bond with him. Considering that Wu was always very upset when doing so, it never worked out. Cypher was roughly at Nero’s level in combat by the end and had some training with most weapons; he’s not a boxer and wouldn’t do well in a fist fight, but if he was armed or given the chance to strategize, he could be very dangerous.
Did not build his criminal empire from the ground up– he instead infiltrated and worked under another villain for a year or two before assassinating him and stealing his holdings, using a few robots he’d made to bolster his defenses until he was powerful enough to use his reputation.
Genuinely believed Nero stole Wing for hostage purposes, as he received a letter that appeared to be written by him threatening Wing after his disappearance. In reality, this letter was crafted and sent by Overlord to encourage Nero and Cypher to go to war.
Needed glasses or contacts; his vision wasn’t horrible and he could function without them, but he was prone to bad migraines without them. As Wu Zhang, he preferred contacts, but switched to glasses as Mao Fanchu. During his time at H.I.V.E., he would become very uncooperative if not provided with glasses and an occasional exam. Also had high blood pressure and other chronic stress issues, but knew how to manage them.
After the fall, he had to do daily physical therapy. Nero ensured he had equipment to do so (which was stored under his bed), but he struggled with chronic pain for the rest of his life. Also occasionally had chronic pain from Overlord’s blast, but this was less frequent. One of the closest relationships to amicable he had as Cypher did come from this though, as he developed an acquaintanceship with Dr. Scott.
After Overlord, he was a brontophobe (feared lightning in particular) and had a strong distaste for the color red despite using it as one of his cardinal colors. Also feared A.I.s and almost threw up at the sight of H.I.V.E.mind in Rogue.
Resented most supervillains’ “they’re disposable” attitude towards their technicians or low-ranking staff, especially as Cypher. He also preferred to avoid killing enemies’ staff, but did so to fit in and get closer to Number One, seeing it as genuinely necessary in his mission to save the world.
And finally, Prompts! (AKA my rejected fic ideas for this...) - Darkdoom the pirate finding siren Wu after the latter got in a scuffle with the infamous Captain Nero. - A student finds Cypher's cell and talks to him through the door. - In an AU where he survives, Cypher playing Battleship with Laura. - Wu Zhang and Xiu Mei fleeing from G.L.O.V.E. after the Incident. - Cypher arguing with Nero in his cell about bringing Overlord online too early.
Anyways, hope y'all had fun! Can't wait to see what you've all created!
YESSSS THIS IS SO GOOD
I got Anastasia Furan the hive birthday bundle 2024
YESSSSSSS
What fantastic work! Loving the cover image, Raven looks so ghoulish but in her usual cool way (she’s never uncool, it’s physically impossible). And the art is fantastic! Your lines always look so energetic, which matches your prompt art really well. It does raise the question though… would Raven eat Taco Bell? I feel like she would just to irritate Nero.
Good job Vela! I love all this, I can’t wait to read the fic!
HIVE BIRTHDAY BASH BUNDLE 2024!
I got raven and so here's her as a rough and rowdy kid
(picrew credit)
my color was black so i adorned her in black/gray bc the background wouldn't change. points docked sorry
Raven Playlist
(...that has to do more specifically with the fanfiction i wrote, either lyrically or vibe-wise, because i was navigating around already having one for her general character and i overthink)
(for the non-spotifyers: yes, anastasia (tori amos) crimon and clover (joan jett & the blackhearts) so heavy i fell through the earth art mix (grimes) DARE (gorillaz) the killing moon (nouvelle vague cover) dream state (son lux) lose your soul (dead man's bones) pavlov's daughter (regina spektor) biting down (lorde) sad pony guerrilla girl (xiu xiu) weird little birthday girl (happyness)
Raven Art
my art prompt was the ancient of days by william blake, so i emulated raven doing that with the taco bell logo on my breakfast & edited a bit in mspaint (and that's on wrist injury!!)
Raven Prompts
Interiority time! I'm not doing the math but I know that Raven was a kid in the USSR in the late 20th century! What's her opinion on space, if any? Does it hold meaning to her? Was it just a political thing she didn't care about? Or can it be symboliiiiiccccc??? You tell me. This is a prompt
Raven cuts her hair, either in Glasshouse or as a routine post
There was only one bed Raven and Ghost MEGA AU
Raven's Gay Awakening TM (take this as you will)
What pet would Raven keep, if she were to keep one? ALTERNATIVELY, is it in character for her to keep a pet? Much to think about
Raven Fanfic
Well happy birthday, her blood's on my hands
(It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress) or, raven has to assassinate someone who does not want to be assassinated.
~500 words, rated T for This Violence Could Happen In HIVE, title/desc from "yes, anastasia" (lol) by tori amos, ao3 link
This particular assassination takes place at least six different times. Raven is best in her profession—but even she botches things.
Thank you Mitch
for organizing this little event!!! (you get your own header♥)
RadenWA is honestly a hero for these
they're got even more than these, too!
I got a drawing tablet not too long ago and decided to practice using Fire Alpaca by drawing Lucky from Paleo Pines! Definitely not my best work but I'm proud of how it came out considering I used an unfamiliar program
I have been getting into DC a little bit more as I’ve been stuck at home a lot watching Batman… so I made a villain OC! Her name is Grimalkin and she’s a supporter of cursed kitty shenanigans.
I know, I know, Catwoman exists, but while the titular movie is… questionable, someone getting cat-like attributes courtesy of a mystical feline is fun! Especially is said individual remains a villain! In Grim’s case, after suffering an untimely demise, a cat spirit (similar to a bakeneko) offers her mystical abilities, including a set of nine lives, in return for serving as essentially the cat’s familiar! Think Klarion and Teekl, but in reverse.
Grimalkin works with the Circus of Strange, which in my own working has an additional animal theme alongside that of circus “freaks”. She’s the troupe’s man acrobat, but also functions as a hitman/guard during their heists, alongside the assassin Flamingo- they’re best buds and very close, so don’t separate them!
She’s blessed with feline agility, unusual strength despite her size, night vision and a handful of cat-like traits that serve her well in her crimes. Right and wrong mean little to her, and she enjoys causing harm for the sake of “the thrill of the hunt”. As her lives tick down, she becomes more and more animal-like- however, she’s discovered that she can turn back the counter if she takes a life after losing it, leading to her bloodthirsty habits in the first place. She’s also got a real bone to pick with the Falcone family- namely, Carmine himself.
just for curiosity's sake, to any fic writers in the audience --
if you've done more than one, vote the lowest down option!
*not as in "i invented a trope", but as in "i was the first one in the transformers ao3 collection to write a tagged 'only one bed' fic"
(ao3 specifically used only because its so easy to search for this information, but if you were the first one to write a fic for anything on other sites, i'd also love to hear about that!)
Can you write something angsty between hero and villain? Also thank you for those lovely stories
"I know I failed you."
The hero sat with their back to the glass wall of the villain's cell; giving the villain what privacy inside it that they could.
The villain said nothing.
"You asked me for my help," the hero said, "and I failed you. I was too distracted with other things. As if - as if they were more important."
"Weren't they?"
"They shouldn't have been."
"Not what I asked."
"No."
They heard the villain's footsteps behind them, saw the shadow of them stretching against the floor until it loomed across them from behind and cast the hero in its darkness.
"I'm just - I'm sorry," the hero said. "That's what I'm trying to say. I'm sorry."
"I imagine that's a lot easier to say when I'm in here."
Bile flooded the hero's mouth, defensive anger, but - the villain wasn't wrong.
"If you were really sorry," the villain continued, "you'd let me go."
"You know I can't do that."
"I know you won't do that."
"The power is eating you up from the inside out."
"So you're going to fail me again."
The hero squeezed their eyes shut, drawing in a steadying breath. They wrapped their arms a little tighter around their chest. They resisted the urge to turn. To look. To see.
"Unsurprising," the villain said. "You've been a disappointment all your life. Why kick the habit now?"
"I know you're angry-"
"-Gotta be the hero, gotta get everyone to love you, and maybe then you can trick them into thinking you're worth something."
"Stop it." The hero twisted to the glass.
The villain crouched at the hero's level, that power glowing in their eyes, brighter even than the hideous fluorescent lights always on in their cell. A cruel smile curled up their lips like a wisp of smoke. The traces of what the hero had loved slowly burning away. Then, just as suddenly, it was gone, flickering out.
All that was left was their friend. Exhausted. Paper-thin.
"Tell me they were more important things," the villain said. "Tell me that at least. Tell me you saved the goddamn world."
The hero placed one hand against the glass. The villain matched it.
"Tell me," the villain said. "Because the only thing worse than this, was that you let me drown for nothing."
"Not nothing."
But it wasn't enough. It didn't seem nearly enough.
"I-" the hero began.
The power flared again.
"Don't worry." Their friend was smothered beneath it; the light of them plunged kicking and thrashing into the churning waters of the magic. The villain tilted their head. "When I get out of here, and oh, I'll get out of here...you'll never fail anyone ever again. So save your apologies. " They stood up, abruptly, and turned away. "They're as worthless as your love ever was."
